NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New Jersey businessman has filed a lawsuit against the National Football League, claiming that it is withholding Super Bowl tickets from the public and allowing resale prices to soar out of the reach of many fans. Josh Finkelman, who said he spent $4,000 on two tickets to the Feb 2. championship game, sued in federal court, accusing the NFL of violating the state Consumer Fraud Act, which the lawsuit says prohibits companies issuing tickets to withhold more than 5 percent of available seating to the public.

(Reuters) - A Canadian National Railway train carrying propane and crude oil derailed and caught fire on Tuesday in northwest New Brunswick, Canada, the latest in a string of train accidents that have put the surging crude-by-rail business under heavy scrutiny. No one was injured but about 45 nearby homes were evacuated when the train derailed near the village of Plaster Rock at about 7 p.m. local time (2300 GMT), local officials and the railroad said. The train originated in Toronto and was headed to Moncton, New Brunswick, which is about 300 km (186 miles)

(Adds status of proposed projects) Dec 18 (Reuters) - Canada's National Energy Board on Thursday will release its decision on whether to recommend approval of Enbridge Inc's controversial C$6 billion ($5.63 billion) Northern Gateway pipeline project. The 525,000 barrel per day pipeline is intended to carry oil sands crude from Edmonton, Alberta, to Kitimat on the coast of British Columbia, but has run into fierce environmental opposition and seen costs mount. Canadian energy companies have been clamouring for increased pipeline capacity to help relieve bottlenecks in Alberta that fanned volatile price swings and deep discounts on Canadian crude to West Texas Intermediate benchmark.

Potash Corp of Saskatchewan Inc., the world's largest potash producer by capacity, said it would cut more than 1,000 jobs, or 18 percent of its workforce in Canada, the United States and Trinidad. The company said it would cut its permanent potash workforce by about 570, mainly at its Lanigan and Cory operations in Saskatchewan and in New Brunswick. It also has a corporate office in Northbrook, Ill. Potash Corp reported its weakest quarter in three years in October and cut its full-year earnings forecast by more than expected amid slumping sales of the key fertilizer ingredient.

LAKE LOUISE, Alberta, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Many refineries in Europe, India and South America are easier to reach from Canaport, New Brunswick, in eastern Canada, than from the U.S. Gulf Coast, the chief executive of Irving Oil said on Friday. Laying out his case for eastern Canada to become a major marine exporter of crude oil, Irving chief executive Paul Browning said Canaport is the closest port in North America to the world's largest refinery, Reliance Industries Ltd's Jamnagar complex on the west coast of India.

ASBURY PARK, New Jersey (Reuters) - New Jersey Republican Governor Chris Christie resoundingly won re-election on Tuesday, winning support across the political spectrum and immediately challenging Washington to follow his lead in a victory speech that could be seen as a start to the 2016 presidential campaign. The blunt, tough-talking incumbent had been expected to win. His margin of victory, more than 20 percentage points by an early estimate, showed a possible path to the White House for a Republican party struggling nationally with a revolt by its conservative Tea Party wing.

(Reuters) - An autopsy has confirmed that two boys in Eastern Canada who were apparently attacked in their sleep by a four-meter (13-foot) python died of asphyxiation, police in New Brunswick said on Wednesday. Noah and Connor Barthe, aged 4 and 6, were found dead early on Monday after the snake, a 45-kg (100 lbs) African rock python, escaped from its glassed-in enclosure, slithered through a ventilation shaft and fell into the room where they were sleeping. A necropsy was performed on the snake, which was euthanized after the attack, and police said it appeared to be in good health.

(Reuters) - Two young brothers found dead in an apartment over a reptile store in New Brunswick, Canada, were believed to have been strangled by a snake that escaped its enclosure and slithered into the building's ventilation system, police said on Monday. The boys, ages 5 and 7, were sleeping over at a friend's apartment above Reptile Ocean in the city of Campbellton. Their bodies were discovered on Monday morning, said Constable Jullie Rogers-Marsh of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

CALGARY, Alberta, July 7 (Reuters) - The crude oil train that derailed and exploded in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, on Saturday was destined for Irving Oil Ltd's refinery in Saint John, New Brunswick, the company confirmed. In a statement posted on its website on Sunday, Irving said the owners of the crude, who were not named, had confirmed the oil was being moved to the 300,000 barrel per day refinery, Canada's largest. Irving, privately owned, increased its use of less inexpensive inland crudes when the price of Brent crudes swelled above the price of North American oil.
